Cash-flow VolatilityHistorical periods of negative free cash flow and a very large 2023 outflow show the company's cash generation can be lumpy. Even with recent positive FCF, this legacy variability raises risk that capital needs or working-capital swings could force external financing or constrain investment when growth demands it.
Margin VariabilitySignificant year-to-year swings in gross margin (notably a much lower ~17.8% in 2025 despite overall profitability) point to sensitivity to capacity costs, pricing or product mix. Such margin instability can undermine long-term margin planning and reduce predictability of operating profits.
Customer / Market ConcentrationHeavy focus on government, defense and mission-critical end markets creates dependence on procurement cycles and a limited pool of large contracts. This specialization can produce revenue lumpiness, long sales cycles and sensitivity to public spending, constraining steady diversified growth.
